It was fine this morning, now I sync and the iPAQ says connected but the desktop says "connecting..." and the logo just spins for eternity. Have tried plugging into a different USB port and re-installing activesync. In desparation I did a hard reset but that's done nothing either! HELP!!

Just a curiosity question, but have you tried restarting your pc? I had that happen a few times, and each time resetting the desktop fixed the issue.

Good luck.

Ah! Ok, i've isolated the problem to Steganos Internet Anonym. Now, to fix it! lol

There, fixed, Steganos is gone. Its a shame there's so many incompatibilites in software though

Is that a type of firewall program? If so it was probably blocking the port that active sync used. There may be a setting in there to let certian ports through(ie Activesync) through.

No, its kinda like a proxy. My guess was that it listened on the AS port, hence the PPC could connect but AS wouldnt see it. There was no way to change or open ports.
